Do you support a future for commerce where the most responsible decision is also the most profitable one? Are you passionate about scalable software as a catalyst for good?

We envision a future where every great product, from a bottle of wine to a pair of jeans, comes with accessible, verifiable information about its history and creation.

Why? Opaque supply chains are devastating environments and compromising the wellbeing of people, animals and communities.

Every product and business is different, but rarely do we have the information we need to make positive choices about what to buy. We exist to empower businesses to be transparent.

Provenance is welcoming advisors and investors to join us as we build the future of brand trust. Our raise will be partly match-funded by an already secured grant. We seek individuals and group funds who share our vision, to help us build the platform for product supply chain transparency.

Our Journey

Jessi Baker (CEO) started Provenance in 2013 as a side project PhD in Computer Science. In 2015, Ian Kynnersley (CTO) joined the team, and we were awarded a grant from Innovate UK, matched with private investment to develop the Provenance concept – a software platform enabling businesses that create and sell products to make their supply chains transparent – easily and in a trustworthy format.

We’ve built an amazing team of developers, designers and data analysts, who incidentally can all code, on top of their respective, complementary skills. What ultimately brings us together is a passion for a better, more open system for commerce. Enabling change by proving and communicating the positive. Working with business on a system that can benefit us all to make better choices for environment and society – all along the supply chain.

Our work has received media attention from top titles and attracted interest all over the world – with zero marketing spend and no sales team. We have over 5,000 unique social followers, are counting over 100 reputable news articles, and have been contacted by over 14,000 people in the past two years. This raise will include the hiring of a Commercial Lead, who will activate our pipeline of pioneering brands and retailers keen to work with us.

To see the hands a product has travelled through is to understand its value.
